watching this super closeup of a clearly ND person rubs me the wrong way.
It is fair game to expose the manner in which this neurodivergent person is dangerous to others, and warn the world about her, with specifics. Even if it hinges on an intimate look at the details.

The cringe humor is completely intertwined with her methods of deception, though. The exact same way that neurotypicals will often self censor so as to not be rude or make things awkward turns into a vulnerability, a vector for her style of ultra-sincere deception.
So introducing a neurodivergent comedian who doesn’t have that self-censorship instinct turns the awkwardness on itself and shows us something genuinely new about the subject. And it’s funny in the same way that the most cringeworthy comedy is funny, but that still serves an important non-comedic purpose in this film.
